This is VERY different than polio/small pox. We have no chance with current medical tech of eliminating a highly mutagenic coronavirus. Even if we did the cost/benefit of doing so would not be adequate.

Ok so now what? We lock down society for a relatively benign virus whose more extreme outcomes are mostly ameliorated by vaccines and therapies? I am all for you encouraging people to vaccinate but if they don’t then that is their choice. (

We have vaccines, but they dont stop transmission or contagion. If they did, a vaccine mandate to protect others would make sense. However, since they dont getting/not getting the vaccine mostly impacts the individual it is odd that we

If only the CDC had not flip flopped on their mask guidance caused a complete erosion of institutional trust.

Should we apply the same standards to the obese? Arguably a greater strain on our health care system.

Jealous of your tests. Pretty sad we printed a couple trillion and didnt get testing etc with it.

Not minimizing just doubtful continued lockdowns and restrictions will do much to the death graph at this point. We have vaccines, we have better therapies. Lets move on. Communism killed 20M people and we still flirt with that ideology.

We dont make this distinction with the vast majority of personal choices. Obesity causes a ton of strain on our health system. Should we start a class system based on BMI?

Masks as used by 90% of the mask wearing population which is only 40%? Of the total population dont work well* If you feel like you should wear an N95 properly to be safe then you should do that. But let’s not pretend we can get everyone to

So we bar them because they are making individual choices that don’t impact us and we want to control them because we are afraid/disagree with those choices?
165.
by pcmoney 5y ago
Why would we bar them? Getting vaccinated does not stop you from getting Covid and it does not stop the spread of Covid. I could see a tax break for being vaccinated as a viable incentive.

by pcmoney 5y ago
Sure but woulda, coulda, shoulda. CDC told us not to wear masks initially. Democrats were vaccine skeptics until Biden won. But who cares? Thats in the past, get vaccinated or not. Go out or not. Just dont try to control others. Also, the w

How Does an individual choice to get vaccinated or not impact others? Vaccines do not stop transmission of Covid nor do they stop you from getting Covid. They merely decrease your chances of getting severe Covid or dying from Covid. Thus th

by pcmoney 5y ago
Why? Masks dont help much. Vaccines dont stop contagion or transmission. They do lower risk of severe covid but kids are very low risk even if unvaccinated.

So basically harming Billy possibly violating his rights and not respecting Grandpa’s autonomy to make his own decisions regarding risk/return tradeoffs is the solution? Hasn’t worked well to date.

An endemic disease is a disease that is always present in a particular population/region. Ex. Flu, malaria, HIV, syphilis, and… COVID Am I missing something?

You and your friends are well off and it looks like you dont have children and can work remote. Thats great! Unfortunately most are living under wildly different and much more difficult circumstances that they are being asked to bear month

How? They can take whatever measures they need to keep themselves safe. I assume they are not going into restaurants now since the mask situation is just theater. Their unfortunate circumstances don’t mean they get to control others. If the

If you don’t want to contract it feel free to make whatever personal decisions you think will prevent it. Don’t use your fear to control others and prevent them from making their own decisions.

It is endemic. Its everywhere. Its mutating. Humanity has never stopped the spread of similar coronaviruses and even if we could the death rate/risk is not bad enough to justify the cost (this isnt smallpox/polio) We have vaccines

No, Covid is low risk if you are vaccinated and elderly/at risk and extremely low risk if you are younger (vaccinated or not) It’s endemic. Its not going away. We are all going to get it. (Me: triple vaxxed, had covid 2x) Getting vacci

The kids are not allowed to interact at school. Their schools are closed arbitrarily. They are taught that they are a vector of disease. We make them eat outside on cold sidewalks in freezing temperatures. The risk to children is very low.

The virus is endemic, we are all going to get it sooner or later.

Vaccines for Covid are available. Vaccines do not stop the spread of Covid. Vaccines do not stop you from getting Covid. Vaccines do reduce the probability of severe/fatal cases of covid. Masks are available. Most masks in most situat

In an open air room, the difference between walking past and sitting in the same room as is negligible. Total theatre, does nothing besides allowing restaurants and patrons to feel ok/that they are “doing something” and stay open.

Compared to pretty much all of its peers (facebook, snapchat, instagram, tiktok, nyt, the economist) twitter allows the most content without login.
